9. Sore BreastsChristina, a Facebook fan of The Doctors, says her breasts have been feeling more sore than usual, preventing her from focusing on work. She asks what could be causing the pain, and if she should be worried.

OB/GYN Dr. Lisa Masterson says that breast tenderness can be cyclic or noncyclic, depending on if the pain occurs [during] a woman’s period or not. “Obviously, if [the pain] is cyclic, then it’s usually related to hormonal levels,” she says. “If it’s noncyclic [and constant], that’s when we start to worry about things going on inside; either cysts or maybe the first [stages] of cancer.

“The first thing you have to do, absolutely, is go see your doctor and get a breast exam,” Dr. Lisa adds. “Then, you want to do things that are going to alleviate that pain.”

If the pain is cyclical, Dr. Lisa says missing a period by taking birth control pills can alleviate the condition. Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or magnesium supplements under a doctor’s supervision and wearing a bra with proper support can help reduce the pain, as well.8.
